The trainers of this memorial have
been enemies of the canal since it first
came before the public. As long as the
fate of the measure was undecided, they
were silent. but now that the prospects are
brighter than yer before. since the bill
has received recognition at the hands of
the war department after an inves6ga-
ton by government experts. thes foes
think it time to show their hands. Had
they been friendly to the project they
would have rallied to its aid in the
dark days when it was in need of assis-
tance. and when public meetings were
being held at every other town in the
Mississippi valley, where the inter-
ests Of the caunl were at stake.
The 'Vanderbilts and the Chicago s.
Northwestern railroad have had their
part in this memorial, their finger marks
are shown all through it. 1t is nothing
other than scheme of great railroad TO
do injury to a nationsl and commercial
benefit under the pretence that the canal
must come by certain route or fail in
its purposes The route is a secondary
consideration The canal is what the
country wants, and the government will
not mistake rs to which is the most
feasible route.

CAN BEAT COOK.
can Eat one Quail a Day for Thirty
Days. She can Eat Two.

A Young Lady who Says If a Man
can Eat one Quail Day for Thirty
Days, She can Eat Two.
There is young lady whose home is on
Vine street in this city, who. though
anxious to avoid undue notoriety, says
that Cooks undertaking to devour thirty
quail in thirty consecutive days is moth
ing; that she can get away with two a
day for the same period. and not make
80 much fuss about il, either She is
very fond of the rich fowl, aud has the
power of digesting all that she can eat.
She is anxious therefor 10 Guido Mr..
Cook, and will attempt the feat il anyone
is willing TO wager sufficient amount
that she can't, to ma Ike 1t an inducement,
and if she fails she is willing TO pay
for the quail, while If she is successful
the person venturing to wager that she is
unable TO complete the task, must pay for
the quail. These are the conditions under
which this young lady is DESTROYS of
eclipsing all others as TO capacity for
quail eating. Who is willing to wager
that she cannot succeed2
Last night Mr.. Jack Cook made away
with his nineteenth quail though be did
SO with slight manifestation of dislike.
Tonight he will have completed two
thirds Of his task, but the hardest part is
yet before him. 1t was the understands
ing at the outset that Cook should choose
his manner of having his quail cooked,
and then there should be no departure
from it until he was through with the
task. He chose broling, and the other
night he suggested having a change in
the way they are being prepared, but
Referee Smith would not allow this.
